I applied through other source. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2012
Interview
These guys have the skill to make an easy process difficult.. They wont share the person's name, it felt like interrogation, not an interview.. and they do a lot of it.. Why did I agree to go through it? Because my impression of AWS was it would be like Amazon is to customers..
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Everything revolves around some stupid leadership principles.. what i found it is everyone makes up garbage to get in, when you get in you see the vessel is full of Micro$oft rats..That is when I knew, this was a disaster..
Few rounds of interview, mixed with behavioral and technical questions to showcase you knowledge of building system on aws. They also asked gen ai questions on how you would create these systems
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026
Interview
You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.
